two.1.4) Short description
The Express Freight Service (EFS) forms part of the Department of Health and Social Care's (DHSC's) National Supply Disruption Response, which is part of the multi-layered approach to help mitigate the impact of disruption to supply of medicines, medical products & ancillary health services. The EFS was originally designed to help mitigate disruption in the event of a no deal exit from the EU and has since been used as part of COVID 19 response arrangements when all other options have been exhausted. It is DHSC's intention to re-procure a similar service to ensure continued contingency in case of any unforeseen event. The new solution is designed to incorporate all 3 current services into one agile solution. The key elements of the new service will include: - continuity of flow to and from the UK (mainly from Europe but with capability to extend its reach globally); flexibility & responsiveness; value for money.
